As far as I'm able to tell, I'm the lone musician in the family.
The same for my wife's family.
Yes, there were relatives who may have dabbled a bit...I have a guitar from a great uncle, my wife has one from her uncle. Neither of us recall them actually playing them.
We both started on piano back when there was a period of time when giving your kids piano lessons was the rage. We both played in "the band," me on trombone and her on clarinet, all the way through college, where we met. We were both church organists, too. But she doesn't play anymore and neither of my daughters took to their violin or viola either.
So that leaves me. The only continuing musician and performer in the family.
But I learned to play guitar because I wanted to. At first, by watching Laura Weber's folk guitar lessons on public television.
